Industrial Light Fixtures for your Walk In Cooler or Freezer

When looking for lighting for your new walk in cooler, make sure that you choose industrial light fixtures. Industrial light fixtures have many advantages to standard light fixtures that aren’t suitable for your walk in cooler or freezer. The following article will go on to highlight these advantages.

Industrial light fixtures offer more durability over their standard counterparts. A walk in cooler or freezer sees a lot of use and has a lot of product brought into it over time. Should the light fixture ever be bumped into or hit with an object, you don’t want it breaking. Industrial light fixtures have the added benefit of being extremely durable, and can better stand up to the punishment that may be inflicted upon them over time.

Industrial light fixtures that are designed for walk in coolers and freezers are actually built for low temperatures. A standard light fixture inside a walk in cooler or freezer will not operate correctly, if at all. This is due to the lower temperatures making it difficult for standard light fixtures. This is especially true when using fluorescent light fixtures. If you’re using fluorescent light fixtures in your walk in cooler or freezer, make absolutely sure that they are industrial light fixtures rated for low temperatures. Standard fluorescent fixtures do not have the low temperature rated starters or ballasts and will NOT work in your unit.

Industrial light fixtures for walk in coolers and freezers are now being manufactured in LED formats. This is a great upgrade as it will allow for a significant decrease in energy consumption, while also allowing you to use a bulb that has a long lifespan and doesn’t emit heat. If you’re in the market for new industrial light fixtures, perhaps you should look into LED’s!
